the amount of fury this post made me feel when op said that friends is another version of HIMYM is beyond just mere butthurt, it's the kind of anger which makes one want to violently bash OP in the face with a giant spike covered dildo

fair enough, but he at least could have put in consideration the fact that friends came before how I met your mother, and not the other way around, but yeah my reaction might have been just a little bit over the top.
